Acacia cyclocarpa, commonly known as ring-pod minni-ritchie, [1] is a shrub belonging to the genus Acacia and the subgenus Juliflorae. It is native to a small area of the Kimberley region of Western Australia. [2]
The shrub has a sprawling, decumbent to semi-erect habit and typically grows to a height of 0.6 to 1 m (2 ft 0 in to 3 ft 3 in) and has minni ritchi style bark that is found at the at base of mature stems. The glabrous branchlets have persistent triangular shaped stipules that are around 1 mm (0.039 in) in length. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves.

The phyllodes have a length of 4 to 8.5 cm (1.6 to 3.3 in) in length and 1 to 2.5 mm (0.039 to 0.098 in) wide with a fine, curved, innocuous point. [1]
